Chapter 647 The Secret Unveiled
"You slept with your cousin's wife, sneaking around until Lawrence turned 20. That's when I found out about you and Melissa. But don't get too smug. I was already pregnant before you cheated on me. You never wanted a son with me, but I didn't need you for that. I have my own son."
"What?" Bob's mind was reeling, his body shivering with icy shock. "How could you have a son? We only have one daughter."
Hellen's voice dripped with meaning. "To make sure my son could secure his place in the Rodriguez family, I came up with a flawless plan and executed it perfectly. He grew up in the Rodriguez family and had everything. If it weren't for you bringing Lawrence back, the Peterson family could've slowly taken over the Rodriguez Group, but give you all a way out. Unfortunately, you got suspicious, and you and your biological son cut off our escape route. So Ronnie took action."
Hellen's venomous words buzzed in Bob's mind. For the first time, he saw the terrifying nature of his wife beside him.
She wasn't gentle at all; she had been acting for thirty years. She was like a venomous snake!
All his thoughts converged on one point. Bob shivered, his mind filled with rage. "Tell me, who is your son? Who did you cheat with to have him?"
"Mr. Rodriguez, you are smart. It won't be hard for you to figure out that the son was Hellen and me? As for who he is, you should have idea by now."
Bob was consumed by a deep chill, his hands and feet trembling.
A name circled ominously in his mind.
He suddenly realized the massive conspiracy Hellen and Ronnie had woven around him for thirty years.
In his noble and iron-willed life, owning a business empire and conquering the military world, he believed he had achieved great success.
It turned out he had been played by Hellen and Ronnie, making him a complete joke!
Ronnie sneered, releasing years of hidden endurance. "You thought you were smart all your life. But you didn't expect that your wife has been cheating on you for thirty years. Back then, you looked down on everyone. I joined the military and asked for your promotion, but you disagreed and thought my military achievements and battle records were both not as good as yours. I was suppressed by you for many years. So I had my son appear in a battle, and you picked him up as an 'orphan.' You raised him with care, taught him business skills, gradually handing over the Rodriguez Group's power to him. Until, twenty years later, you discovered Lawrence's existence. You had a biological son, so the adopted son didn't matter anymore.
From that moment, Hellen and I started planning everything, and I finally get to hold my head high today. The Peterson family is now the top family in Veridiania, so Hellen can rightfully marry me. We came today to tell you to divorce Hellen if you know what's good for you. You have no more value. And thank you for taking care of her for me for all these years."
Bob spat out mouthfuls of blood! He collapsed onto the bed like an old, helpless man.
The monitor by the bedside beeped urgently, the sharp sound filling the room.
His heart felt like it was dying, filled with humiliation and pain.
His fists clenched, veins bulging, glaring at Hellen with extreme hatred. "Even if there was no love, I treated you with a clear conscience, never having another woman outside. But you had an affair with Ronnie before our marriage. You were so unchaste, and even had a bastard child with him. What's worse, you made me raise your bastard child. No one destroys another's family like you. Hellen, Ronnie, as long as I have a breath left, I will drag both of you to hell! You treacherous wolves, get out!"
He tried to grab the bedside alarm to call for help.
But Ronnie pressed down his struggling hand, pulling off his oxygen mask, coldly yanking out his IV line, watching him struggle.
Bob had never been so humiliated in his life. Born noble, he had walked a righteous path all his life.
But at the end of his life, he was tortured by Hellen and her lover Ronnie, crushing his dignity into the ground.
He rolled off the bed.
Hellen turned away.
The door to Bob's room was pushed open suddenly!
Amy's face was pale with panic, her lunchbox falling to the ground.
"Mom."
"What are you doing here?" Hellen quickly turned around, looking at Amy's face, which was so similar to Bob's, a flash of coldness rose in her eyes.
"Mom, what are you and Uncle Ronnie doing to Dad? Why don't I understand what you're saying?"
Seeing Amy rush in, Ronnie let go of the IV line and threw a divorce agreement onto Bob's head. "Hellen doesn't want anything. After all, your Rodriguez family has nothing left to divide. You were proud all your life and didn't expect this end, did you? Your son is useless too. He's now stuck in the police station for kidnapping. As for the Rodriguez family, it's going down."
"Ronnie, enough. Bob, I've always loved Ronnie. We are the real family. Sign the papers quickly!"
Hellen, having spoken, left hand in hand with the triumphant Ronnie.
At the door, Amy trembled all over, looking at the unfamiliar Hellen and the ruthless Ronnie. She didn't recognize these two people at all.
"Mom, what are you saying? You want a divorce, then what about me?"
Hellen impatiently glanced at Amy and said bluntly, "It's your choice! If you want to stay with your fallen father, that's up to you. If you still want wealth and glory, then come with me to the Peterson family. Mars is the future heir of the Peterson family."
With a crash, Amy was like a wilted eggplant. She had overheard bits and pieces. 'Could Mars really be Hellen's biological son? Hellen was too terrifying. But what about Dad? What would happen to Dad? Dad had always been good to me, though strict sometimes.'
Amy was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. She usually flaunted her status as the daughter of the Rodriguez family, but in reality, she was very scared when things happened.
Hellen looked at her with even more disdain. "Think carefully about what future you have left in the Rodriguez family. Your useless husband doesn't even have a proper job. Tiffany is still young. What future will she have with you and your useless husband?"
Amy's gaze towards Bob instantly wavered.
